IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa senior lineman Keegan Render has been named to the Rimington Trophy Preseason Watch List, the Boomer Esiason Foundation announced today.

The Rimington Trophy is awarded to the nation’s premier center in college football and is presented annually by the Boomer Esiason Foundation.

Render (6-foot-4, 307-pounds) started in all of Iowa’s 13 games in 2017. The Indianola, Iowa native saw action at center, right guard, and left guard last year, while playing in every offensive down in five of 13 games. Render was part of two 50-point offensive outputs, as the Hawkeyes gained 487 yards of total offense against Ohio State and 505 yards of total offense against Nebraska.

The Rimington Trophy winner will be announced on Jan. 12, 2019, at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska. The center with the most first team votes will be determined the winner.

Render and the Hawkeyes open their season on Sept. 1 against Northern Illinois. Questions concerning the purchase of 2018 football tickets, including general public, UI faculty/staff and UI student seasons tickets by current UI students, should be directed to the UI Athletics Ticket Office. The office is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office telephone number is 1-800-IA-HAWKS. Information is also available at hawkeyesports.com/tickets.

When was the last time iowa didn’t have a center on the watch list for this award?
 
My whole thing is typically they put 50-65 guys on the watch list and a starting center at Iowa is going to be put on the list..
 
Wasn't that also the year when Welsh practiced at C during the spring ... and he was put on the watch list?


Oops good catch...

Although in my defense Welsh isn't on the "official" 2016 Rimington watch list:

Not a big deal either way, and I agree with 50+ players mentioned it would seem that Iowa player would generally be on it.
